Did you go with the SV? Or are you still contemplating between that and the SBE? I replied to your other post. I own the SV and love it. Cycles every time. Even 1oz loads. Light weight, recoil is good, and just an all around nice gun. One of the best guns I have ever shouldered. No regrets in buying it. At first it would punch my cheek hard with 3.5" mags but that was solved by switching the shim. It comes with 4 different shims and 5 choke tubes. After that no more right hand jabs to the face! Awesome gun! Easy to clean and tear down. Can clean it in 10 min or less. Seriously. Cause it's inertia barely any residue gets into the trigger assembly and mag area. Clean the barrel and receiver/bolt and good to go!

WM did you talk to Benelli about it? Never patterned mine but it seems to hit clay targets well. I will pattern it this spring if the snow ever melts up here! Interested to see how it will work with the loads and chokes I own.

Just sold my SV. Shot it for half a season, and the gun just did not agree with me. Was a piss poor shot with it. Picked up the A5 and never looked back. Be honest after having both at the same time and shooting at the same time. I feel the A5 quality was far better than the SV. Just my opinion. Great gun though.
